TECHNICAL TERMS EXPLANATION Rated capacitance Capacitance referred to 1 khz, 20 +-1ºC, 65+-2% of relative humidity and 96+- 10 kpa. In case of doubt please refer to IEC 60068-1, sub-clause 5.2. Capacitance tolerance Admitted capacitance deviation from the rated capacitance. Rated Temperature (T R ) The maximum ambient temperature surrounding the capacitor or hottest contact point (i.e.tracks), whichever is higher, at which the rated voltage may be continuously applied. Rated voltage (V R ) The maximum direct voltage or the maximum r.m.s. alternating voltage or the peak value of a pulse voltage which may be continuously applied to a capacitor at any temperature between the lower category temperature and the rated temperature. Category voltage (V ) The maximum direct voltage or the maximum r.m.s. alternating voltage or the peak value of a pulse voltage which may be continuously applied to a capacitor at its upper category temperature. Temperature derated voltage The maximum voltage that may be continuously applied to a capacitor for any temperature between the rated temperature and the upper category temperature. Climatic category The climatic category which the capacitor belongs to is expressed in numbers (standard IEC 60068-1: example 55/100/21). The first number represents the lower category temperature (example: -55ºC); the second number the upper category temperature (example: +100ºC) and the third number represents the number of days relevant to the damp heat test (example: 21 days). Temperature coefficent of capacitance ( i ) The change rate of capacitance with temperature measured over a specified range of temperature. It is normally expressed in parts per million per Celsius degree (10-6 /ºC) and referred to 20ºC. Where: Ci = Capacitance at temperature Ti Co = Capacitance at temperature 20+-2ºC For more details please refer to EN-130000. Ci - Co i = Co (Ti - To) www.amelec.ch Tel.: 044 862 00 62 Seite 2
Variation of capacitance with humidity The capacitance of a plastic film capacitor changes with the ambient humidity. The capacitance change depends upon the dielectric type. Dissipation factor (tg ) The dissipation factor is the ratio between the resistive and the reactive part of the impedance of the capacitor submitted to a sinusoidal voltage of specified frequency. Insulation resistance (I r ) / time constant The insulation resistance is the ratio between an applied D.C. voltage and the resulting leakage current after a minute of charge. It is expressed in MΩ. The time constant is expressed in seconds with the following formula: t [s] = Ir [MΩ] X C [μf] It states the time necessary to reduce the voltage to the teminals of the capacitor at 37% of a fully charged capacitor value. Pulse rise time (dv/dt) The pulse rise time defines the capability of a capacitor to withstand high current peaks due to fast voltage changes. The peak current is defined by the following formula: Where: I P in A; C in μf; dv/dt in V/μs I P (peak current) = C x dv/dt www.amelec.ch Tel.: 044 862 00 62 Seite 3

GENERAL INFORMATION Across-the-line and interference suppression applications 1) When a capacitor is used for this of application it may be subject to a mains voltage on a permanent basis and to surges caused, for example, by lightning, power commutations, ect. In these working conditions the capacitor must be a component with a safety margin able top satisfy the main International Standards: IEC 384-14 (2 ND Ed. 1993 + amendment 1-95) (Intern. Standard) EN 132400 (similar to the previous) (European Standard) UL 1414, UL 1283 ( USA Standards ) CSA C22.2 Nr1 (Canadian Standards) For safety reasons it is advisable to use components approved according to the above mentioned standards. 2) When using capacitors Class X2 for across-the-line and interference suppression applications (connected in parallel to the main supply), it is important to make sure that there are no peak pulses exceeding 630 V (Vpp) for a rated of 250 to 275 Vac. Otherwise we suggest to add a surge suppressor in parallel to the capacitor (e.g. varistor). Special working conditions SCOPE 1) Humid ambient If used for a long time in a humid ambient, the capacitor might absorb humidity and oxidise the electrodes causing breakage of the capacitor. 2) Resin If the capacitor is placed in resin, the following situations might occur: - the solvent contained in the resin might deteriorate the caracteristics of the capacitor. - the heat generated during the polymerisation might damage the capacitor. 3) Adhesive curing oven Do not place the polypropylene capacitor in the polymerisation oven of the resin used to glue SMD components: the heat combined with length of stay in the oven might damage the dielectric ot the capacitor with risk of short circuit. When the polypropylene capacitor is used together with SMD components, always fit it after he SMD gluing process. This specification covers the requirement for metallized polypropylene dielectric fixed capacitor Class X2 www.amelec.ch Tel.: 044 862 00 62 Seite 5
